The Simplest Web3 Experience: Introducing Passkey Smart Wallet
Table of Contents:
Ever since Particle Network was created, it’s been our mission to hyper-simplify the Web3 experience.
If you’ve been following our latest updates, you know we’ve been advancing at breakneck speed toward our goal of unifying users’ accounts and balances across every chain. Meanwhile, however, we’ve also been quietly working on introducing improvements to our existing Wallet Abstraction product suite.
Today, we want to highlight the latest of these improvements: Say hello to Passkey Smart Wallet! By introducing passkeys into the Smart Wallet experience, developers can offer their users a secure, convenient experience, removing yet another layer of complexity from Web3 asset management.
Passkey Smart Wallet: Core Features
1. Frictionless login experience
One of the key strengths of the Passkey system is its ability to offer a frictionless login experience. With instant wallet creation, users can set up their wallets without the need for cumbersome app downloads or browser extensions. Instead, users can authenticate themselves using biometric methods such as fingerprints or facial recognition, enabling immediate access to their wallets. This user-centric design eliminates the complexities associated with wallet setups, allowing even beginners to enter Web3 with ease.
2. Seamless transaction validation
Another standout feature of the Passkey system is its seamless transaction validation. When sending or receiving funds, users can authenticate transactions directly via biometrics, removing the need for manual input or complex passcode confirmations. This provides a smooth, secure transaction process that minimizes friction while ensuring the highest level of security.
This way, users can enjoy swift validation, reducing the risk of user errors and increasing confidence in managing their assets.
3. No seed phrases!
For many crypto users, managing and securing seed phrases can be a major pain point. Passkey Smart Wallet eliminates this need altogether.
Instead of relying on long and complex recovery phrases, the Smart Wallet employs modern recovery methods, such as multi-factor authentication and pre-approved trusted contacts, making it both user-friendly and secure. This design helps ensure that users maintain full control over their wallets without the burden of remembering and storing sensitive phrases.
4. Multiple gas tokens (and even gasless transactions!)
Particle’s Wallet Abstraction product suite supports payments using any token, providing flexibility for users who hold various cryptocurrencies. This enables developers, for example, to allow users to pay for gas using stablecoins.
Our system also supports gas sponsorship, allowing dApps to fully eliminate gas payments for their users. This eliminates one of the biggest hurdles for newcomers and simplifies the experience for seasoned users, making dApps more attractive for them.
5. Fully portable
Portability is crucial in today’s world, and our Smart Wallet delivers on this front with full portability. Whether you're switching devices, upgrading to a new phone, or accessing your wallet from different platforms, we ensure you retain full control and access without needing to go through a lengthy recovery process. Users can log in securely across devices, and thanks to the Passkey system, there’s no need to remember credentials or re-enter details every time.

Entering the Abstraction Era
As mentioned in the introduction, every new addition to Particle’s Wallet Abstraction suite aims to continue simplifying the Web3 experience. Meanwhile, the Particle team continues to develop our flagship chain abstraction product—Universal Accounts—- at full speed.

They will also be able to pay for gas with any token, as well as access their wallet via social logins, passkey features, or other Web3 wallets. This will not only enhance their Web3 experience, but also allow for developers to create new, unique products that make the most out of a fully interconnected ecosystem.
In other words, we're pushing the boundaries of convenience and efficiency in the decentralized world!
Particle Network's Wallet Abstraction solutions are 100% free for developers and teams. By integrating them, you can set your project in a path to leveraging chain abstraction.
